How to read the result

The 22% flat supplemental rate assumes you are a middle-bracket earner. For tech employees above $250k in ordinary income, 22% leaves a large gap at filing. This calculator shows exactly how much.

This tool is educational. It uses 2025 single-filer federal brackets, a simplified state-tax model, and does not substitute for a CPA review of your specific facts. For a second set of eyes on a meaningful event, match with a fiduciary advisor who routinely works with equity compensation.
